Answer 2

Sudo controller action.

public ActionResult DetailsChanged(DetailsRepository detailsRepository, Details detailsModel)
{
  if(!ModelState.Valid)
{
   ViewData["Error"] = "Error";
   return View();
}

Details newDetails = detailsRepository.FirstOrDefault(x => x.ID == detailsModel.Id);
if(newDetails != null)
{
   if(newDetails.Id == 1)
   {
      newDetails.Id = 2;
   } else {
      newDetails.Id = 2;
   }
   detailsRepository.SaveChanges();
   return View();
 }
}

Something like that.
